  1. Text selection Improvements

    When I try to select from the middle of the block, it then selects the whole block, I personally don't want it. Or when I start selecting text block from the end to the beginning and the cursor meets the dotted symbol, which is to the left of each block, the selection breaks down.

  2. More comprehensive sharing!

    It would be very nice if you could share a "secret link" to provide access to a dashboard of collections. Also, any thoughts on the possibility of sharing access to an entire Space? What about just a subset of one of your Spaces? Maybe requiring some kind of filter or manual selection to decide what of a Space is shared. It would be useful to share access to certain data and present it as a Space that could be quickly accessed.

  4. Time boxing/ blocking - Daily Note

    I would love to use something like time boxing within the daily note, especially when calender integration is there. Would be great, if one could set recurring boxes for special days e.g. your training hours on wednesday etc.

  5. Outline Property Type

    alternative solution for https://capacities.io/feedback/p/outliner-mode instead of tweaking with blocks, making it outliner-compatible, I propose a different property type. completely separate from the current "Blocks". similar to "Blocks"-type property, we can have "Outline"-type property. when we write there, everything is collapsible bullet and we can do Zoom-in & Zoom-out like some popular outliner apps (Remnote, Workflowy, Logseq, Tana, Dynalist). but this property does not have the functionality of Blocks-type, which is column (placing block side-by-side). the cons might be that users need to decide what type of content they want in an object before start typing (choosing Blocks or Outline). so it will need some convert mechanism between those 2 types later.

  6. Export/backup with full import compatibility

    I usually run this test with note taking applications to see how well they have implemented the import and export functionalities. The test is to choose a format and export a page with a relatively complex layout and nested and rich blocks. Then import the same file again into the tool and compare this new generated page with the original. Unfortunately I couldn't find a single format that can pass this test. Not even the backups are any better. This means we have loss of data when we export pages. Data like indentations, styles and page layout and more. I have found PDF exports are the most true to the original page however there is no way to import that back in or use it in any other platform or edit it to make it compatible with other tools so we can ignore that. I am aware that formats like Markdown is limited and it would probably required modification to be able to represent all features of the application but point is not to strictly use any common format. To pass this test we just need a file format in plain text which is human readable and comprehensive for all the features of the application so it could be used to restore back the data into the app (a true backup format that can be viewed and edited by human) I am loving what I see in Capacities however until this functions are completely sorted we can't truly say that users are the owner of data if they can only retrieve partial data.

  7. Keyboard-native / Keyboard-only usable

    Suggestion. I use Capacities daily both on the phone and PC and one painpoint is making pages targeted in a specific place, going inside links, going back, so on. On the PC, I have to be on a text block with the cursor blinking to do ctrl/cmd + [ , but if it's unfocused I can't. Making pages is easy, but what if i wanted it to be of a specific object of a specific collection? I like the agility of making a new link, but please make it as easy (on the keyboard) to jumping to links and so on. (Context: as a vim user, I really appreciate it if i can use capacities without needing the mouse)

  8. Allow editing of icons for default object types

    Currently, one can not edit the icons for: Daily Notes Images Pages Tags Tweets Weblinks It would be nice to be able to replace these with an icon/emoji of choice just like custom object types.

  10. Nested Tags / Hierarchy for tags

    Add tags hierarchy so we can tag items very granuarly like #recipe/breakfast and #recipe/dinner which can all be viewed under #recipe.

  11. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly Notes

    I think it would be a great addition to have Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Notes along with the Daily Notes interface. For example, by pressing the number buttons above the calendar to create one.

  13. Unable to sign-in to Google account to show embedded files (IOS Desktop)

    When I embed a Google doc it prompts me to sign-in, but clicking the sign-in button doesn't trigger an action. Now I can't embed files and pasted links all get the title "Google Docs: Sign-in". This makes working with the desktop app difficult.

  14. Table formatting to include checkboxes

    Please include checkboxes as part of table formatting in addition to numbers, percentage, and progress. Will be great for columns where done/not done is the desired format. Credits: @sleepy on Discord

  15. Emails as unique object type

    It would be great to have the option for forwarded emails to be saved to their own unique object type in addition to the current functionality of appending them to the Daily Notes.
